Audience

Questions

Who Creates what we watch?
The producer creates what we watch as they are behind all the films that are made. These are called 'gatekeepers'. what is made is what the audience sees and only the 'gatekeepers' can create this as they are behind the scenes creating what we see.

Can the media exist without audience?
No as there would be no point for the media as it would have nothing to interest or influence so responses to the media would be non existence. Also without the audience the media would have no one to view the media so therefore would have no point existing.

Can the audience exist without the media?
No as the audience would have nothing to be influenced by or would have nothing to feed on so the audience for the media would not be able to exist without the media. However some may say it can exist as the audience should not be influenced by the media. 

Who is the more powerful, media or audience?
I would say audience. This is because without audience, media cannot affect anyone/anything and that without audience the media is pointless and has no reason. However, media can affect the audiences thoughts or choices so can still be thought as powerful as it can inform and influence the audience.

Can the media control the audience?
Yes as the audience could be intoxicated by the media so therefore the media will be able to control the audience as the audience listen a lot to the media and what they say. Also the media can control the audience as the media can influence on opinion and choices of the audience so can show control of the audience by the media.
